Autoantibody Screening in Sibling-Dominant Pediatric Relatives of Type 1 Diabetes Patients: Prevalence, Determinants, and Psychological Impact

Autoantibody Screening in Sibling-Dominant Pediatric Relatives of Type 1 Diabetes Patients: Prevalence, Determinants, and Psychological Impact

This multicentre Turkish study identifies ZnT8 autoantibodies as predominant in young siblings at risk for type 1 diabetes and highlights gestational age as a protective factor, while revealing significant anxiety changes in children and parents post-screening, underscoring the need for integrated immunological and psychological care.

Targeting the CXCL9/CXCL10-CXCR3+ CD8+ T Cell Axis: Unraveling Anti-PD-1 Antibody-Associated Cardiotoxicity in Pressure Overload Heart Failure

Anti-PD-1 antibody exacerbates pressure overload-induced heart failure by promoting CXCR3+ CD8+ T cell infiltration, which impairs cardiomyocyte mitochondrial function via granzyme B and perforin. This study identifies a novel immunopathogenic mechanism and therapeutic targets to mitigate cardiotoxicity.
